$2 Tuesday: Rider Pre-Race Rituals circa 2011 By Billy Rainford One of our favourite things about motocross and racing in general is the little quirks that make each rider an individual. Sometimes it’s something as seemingly insignificant as the order in which they put their boots on…sometimes it’s more. We went around and asked riders what their pre-race rituals or superstitions were and the answers were very interesting. Check this
McThoughts: Las Vegas Supercross – 450 Class By Jeff McConkey What a 450 season! We had the most stacked class ever and the racing was great. Yes, Ryan Dungey was very dominant early on, but it was still fun to watch. Ken Roczen started to catch fire around Santa Clara. It’s a shame he couldn’t find a setting earlier on in the season, because he really could have taken a
McThoughts: Las Vegas Supercross – 250 Class By Jeff McConkey For 2016, we were blessed with some fantastic racing on both coasts. In the West, there was one real favourite in Cooper Webb, but on the East, there were 4-5 guys. I’m still not a fan of how both coasts get thrown into the mix at Vegas, but that’s just my opinion.

This week, we’re coming to you from a quiet little fishing village about 40 kms outside Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, called Sayulita.

Quite a few years back, motocross legend, David Bailey, set the MX world on fire when he gave a speech from his bed about safety and neck braces. It sparked a huge debate between wearing and
Catching Up with…Brad Nauditt By Billy Rainford In case you missed it in last week’s Frid’Eh Update that was dedicated to the #18 rider, Brad Nauditt… Well, we had enough fuel to get the Delorean back to week #18 this week (Yes, this should conclude our lame ‘Back to the Future’ references to cover up a mistake). Week #18 goes out to the Washington State native who we’ve all gotten

Frid’Eh Update #18 Presented by EVS By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Well, we had enough fuel to get the Delorean back to week #18 this week (Yes, this should conclude our lame ‘Back to the Future’ references to cover up a mistake).
